Ref: Glacier View Heights S/D #4; Block 1, Lot 8 (22500 Columbia Glacier Loop, Eagle River,
AK) Memo concerning converting CAT III AWWTS to CAT II AWWTS septic system
To whom it may concern:
The permitted septic system was installed on the referenced property on 9/2-9/2010 and was started
up in March of 2011. ARM Septic Services, LLC has checked the monitoring tubes in the drainfield on
3/1/2019 and found them to be dry. In order to simplify the overall operation and maintenance of the
system, we are proposing that this unit be permanently configured as a CAT I I system. Our
justifications are as follows:
The existing home has 4 bedrooms (600 gpd). The drainfield is a bed type system with an absorption
area of 300 square feet. There is 6 foot of MOA approved sand between the drainrock and the insitu
soil. The insitu soil below the sand filter has percolation rate of 60 minutes per inch. Given this
percolation rate, a 2.0 gpd/sq.ft. application rate is required for Cat III effluent and a 1.0 gpd/sq.ft.
application rate is required for Cat II effluent. The application rate for the receiving sand (for CAT II
effluent) is 4 gpd/sq.ft, which dictates a drainfield size of 150 sq.ft. After the effluent passes through
the 6 feet of MOA approved sand it should easily meet Cat III effluent quality levels regarding BOD,
TSS, and Fecal Coliform levels, so the allow allowable application rate to the insitu soil should be 2.0
gpd/sq.ft
Based upon the facts presented, it is our assertion that the 300 sq.ft. drainfield is adequate in size and
design (6 feet of receiving sand for treatment prior to reaching insitu soil) so as to receive CAT II
effluent from a 4 -bedroom residence (600 gpd).
At this time, we request that your department approve a CAT II configuration be used at the
referenced property, Upon your concurrence, we will have ARM Septic Service, LLC, either leave
the Jandy valve actuator in the discharge position; or have them completely remove the internal
actuator valve basin. We will also have them place a CAT II sticker on the control panel.
If you have anV gVeE4ions, please call or email.

We will be installing a toolbox collection kit for Jonathan Uhal, the owner of Quanics unit #78 on 22500 Columbia Glacier
Loop (Glacier View Heights #4; Block 1, Lot 8). The system is currently CAT III and utilizes an internal jandy valve. John
Uhal approved a CAT II conversion with ARM onsite on 3/1/2019 and the drainfield was dry during our last maintenance
on 1/24/2019. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Glacier View Heights, B1, L8
Mr. Crewdson,
Prior to the excavation o~ the drain~ield, during the system layout, a confirmation test hole
was excavated by Tweed Excavation and inspected by GEG employee Rob Campbell. The location o~
the test hole was roughly 40' downhill +rom the lower edge o~ the drain~ield, as directed in
the special provisions o~ the sewer permit.
The test hole was roughly 8' deep, consisting oT several Teet oT organics before
transitioning to a GM type silty gravel soil ~or the remainder oT the TH depth. The soil did
not appear to be impermeable. A percolation test was not perTormed. Mr. Campbell contacted
the MOA onsite oTTice and talked to 3eft Poet about his ~indings and wanted to know iT the
MOA wanted to come out and look at the test hole. Mr. Poet conveyed that he did not need to
look at the test hole.
Based upon our ~indings in this confirmation test hole, it is reasonable to believe that all
drain~ield e~luent will be absorbed into the underlying soils and not daylight out o~ the
ground downhill Trom the drain~ield site.
The soil proi:ile noted in this email is based upon Robert Campbell's recollection.
Please cont. aqq Ar o~ice with any questions.

Ref: Proposed Septic and Well for Glacier View Heights #4; Block 1, Lot 8,
To whom it may concern:
The subject property is currently vacant. The homeowners are proposing to build a 3 bedroom house and
to be served by a private well and a septic system. We are proposing to install a category III advanced
wastewater system which will include; a new 1500 gallon S.T.E.P tank with Quanics controls/floats, a
650 Aerocell unit and a bed type drainfield. Two test holes were excavated on the property. The
drainfield will be designed around the 3 0 foot radius of test hole #2. Comments regarding the design are
summarized as follows:
1. SOILS: See the attached logs which shows the soil classifications, groundwater monitoring, and the
percolation test results.
2. DRAINFIELD DESIGN: See attached design drawing for drainfield specifications.
3. SURFACE WATERS: There are no surface waters within 100 feet of the proposed septic system.
4. TOPOGRAPHY: As can be seen on the attached design drawing the average topography below the
drainfield is relatively flat. There is a portion of terrain approximately 15 feet south of the proposed bed
that transition into a 25% for approximately 16 feet. The terrain then settles out into a slight 5% slope. In
short, there are no slope concerns.
We are unaware ofl~ny adverse impacts this installation would have on adjacent wells or septic systems.
If you have any .~q/ueslions, please contact us at 337-6179.
Thank you for your assistance.
President,s/ ' ~
NOTE: Attached is a site plan drying a design dr~ing one soil lo& which are all part of the design package for
this septic system. (Contact G.E.G. Ltd for 7page construction spec~cation letter.)

Engineer's Comments:
In conducting this evaluation, GEG, LtD. attempted to provide a thorough,
conscientious engineering analysis of the system in accordance with ADEC and MOA
DSD Guidelines & Regulations. The reported results described the performance of the
system under the conditions encountered at the time of the test, and separation
distances measured to readily identifiable features. The operational life of all wells and
septic systems depend on the local soils condition, groundwater levels that may
fluctuate during the year, and the water usage of the family being served by the system.
These conditions are outside the control of the evaluator of the system. Satisfactory test
results do not guarantee future performance of the system, nor do they guarantee that
there are no hidden defects or encroachments. GEG, LTD. can therefore not provide
any warranty or future estimate of how long the system will continue to meet the
operational requirements of the ADEC or MOA DSD. The content of this report is for
the sole benefit of the owner listed above. Any reliance upon or use of this report by any
other person or party is not authorized, nor will it confer any legal right whatsoever.

Ref: Remedied deficiencies for Glacier View Heights #4; Block 1, Lot 8,
To whom it may concern:
The following deficiencies have been fixed and inspected:
1. Permanent installation of the monitoring tube for test hole # 1.
2. Topsoil and seeding of the 3:1 slopes located around the drainfield.
3. Repair of the broken clean-out located in the drainfield.
The previous list of deficiencies included that an additional cleanout be added just after the Quanics Aerocell
between the drainfield lateral and the Aerocell unit. This item has been removed from the list by GEG for the
following reasons:
1. It was not on the original design.
2. Water flow running from the Aerocell unit to the drainfield can be identified and confirmed through
the cleanouts at the end of the drainfield.
3. The Aerocell is positioned in close proximity to the cleanouts.
At this time GEG requests that a non-conditional COSA be issued for this property.
